Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Slice them into evenly sized strips, about 1/4 inch thick, for uniform cooking.
Step 2
Fill a large bowl with cold water and soak the potato strips for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove some of the starch, resulting in crispier fries.
Step 3
Drain and rinse the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove all moisture.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried potato strips with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper. Toss to coat the fries evenly with the seasonings.
Step 5
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C). This usually takes about 3 minutes, depending on your air fryer model.
Step 6
Place the seasoned potato strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook the fries in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Step 7
Air fry the potato strips for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 8
After 15 minutes, check the fries for desired crispiness. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes if needed, shaking the basket every 5 minutes.
Step 9
When the fries are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
